Family Self Catering Cottages

The old-fashioned way of heating a bottle of baby milk was to leave it standing in a pan of hot water for several minutes then give it a good shake and check the temperature on the tender part of the inside of your arm. There are various electric bottle warmers on the market that heat the bottle to a safe temperature and even emit a sound when it is ready. Most of these are fairly compact for travel, however, it is yet another item to pack and transport when going on holiday and could be useful if it is provided.

Microwaves should never be used to heat baby milk because they alter the composition of the milk and heat some parts of a bottle more than others; which could result in burns.
